Puntarenas to Quepos

Entertainment in Puntarenas To Quepos

  1. A

    Disco La Central

    This unintentionally retro disco sets the volume at 11 (whether or not there’s anyone on the dance floor), though it’s an old-timer on the Jacó scene that still draws in a strong local following. Very much an after-hours spot, Disco La Central doesn’t really get going until the restaurants and bars have emptied out, sending inebriated patrons out in search of flashing lights and heavy bass.

    Jungle

    The 2nd-story terrace gives you a good vantage point for sizing up your prey, which is a good thing as this place can turn into an unabashed meat market. But, the vast majority of people here are looking for a hookup rather than opting to pay for one, so it definitely earns a small measure of respectability in our book.

    Tabacon

    Definitely one of the more modest night spots in town, Tabacon is a casually elegant lounge that occasionally hosts live music. The mature crowd passes the night away with carefully measured doses of hard liquor, while younger hotheads can let off a bit of steam at the pool tables and foosball.

    Clarita’s Beach Hotel and Sports Bar and Grill

    Part hotel and part watering hole, this sports bar sets the table with ample pub grub, and quenches the thirst with copious draft beers. Sports fans will appreciate being able to catch the game on the big screen (and be served by a waitstaff dressed up in cheerleader outfits). On Saturday afternoons, a trio of codgers sets up in the corner to amble through Costa Rican folk songs, calypso versions of Bob Marley favorites and several beers.

    Le Loft

    The Loft is Jacó’s sleekest nightlife offering and makes a good addition to the beach clubs and girly bars with some much needed urban sophistication. Live DJs spin essential mixes while glam-aspiring customers do their best to look beautiful and act fabulous. There's a calendar of special events and a balcony perch where travelers take in the action on the street below.
